Members of the Woodbury American Legion Post 133 presented the check to Gloucester County Habitat’s Tony Isabella at this month’s Legion meeting.  “I am extremely grateful to accept this donation on behalf of the affiliate. The Woodbury American Legion Post 133 donation means a great deal to the affiliate and to Mr. Harris, a true American hero,” said Tony Isabella. “This donation comes at an excellent time as Gloucester County Habitat and Angels Community Outreach start construction on Mr. Harris’ ADA Compliant ramp collaboration with the Home Depot, Quikrete, and Columbia Bank”

With a goal to raise $20,000 to repair flooring, walls, electrical outlets, the bathroom and more at Mr. Harris’ home Habitat and Angels are exemplifying the phrase “team work, makes the dream work”.
